This book was a no-go for me. It was so slow getting into, and once I finally got the gist of the horror a few chapters in, I didn't really care about or care for the characters. Although I have never experienced the death of someone close to me, especially an unborn child (so my judgment could be very wrong), I thought four years was a bit too long to grieve over such a loss. Therefore I thought Polly was a bit weak right off the bat and she came across as too whiny and needy for my tastes.

I only made it about half way through this book. It is slow.

I read this book as a teen and thought it was one of the fastest, easiest reads I ever came across. My sister read the book as well and she finished it within 2 days. It might be a style that is not as appealing to adults, but a great read for younger readers.
